 The official Trinity Test site - Boston Metal Band
Trinity Test is a metal band from Boston, MA that redefines conventions of extreme music by placing them in entirely new contexts.

In a time where explosive sounds are often thrown together chaotically and passed off as "experimental," Trinity Test takes the process further, refining their experiments until achieving devastatingly precise results.
